It's competition season!  We preview each band in the Hornet Invitational, try to guess what their show is about, and gush over the fantastic song selections we see!   In response to so much missed rehearsal because of the heat, we ask how much of their field show a band is expected (or required?) to have on the field by this point and whether they are expected to even wear uniforms in this heat. Good luck this weekend everyone!

In this episode we talk about the fantastic field show we saw at an away game this week.  Plus we discuss how to get prepared for the first competition.  It is so important that you eat, rest, and hydrate to make it through those long, but exciting, competition days!

What are the different phases of the Marching Season?  The hardest, the most stressful, the most fun?  What do you think? Also, we talk about our experience at the Pete Evans Showcase and how hot it has been this week!

We preview the Exhibition in Milan called the Pete Evans Showcase.  Plus we talk about what we like about performing about football games and how it is different than performing at competitions.
